We’re far from the rustic Italian villa that Call Me By Your Name is set in, but the right kind of music never discriminates on location (or personal space). With all the bangers and bading beats that DJs Mikhail Quijano, Joey Santos, and BoyKillsRobot (Kim Galanza) dished out at TEAM’s recent Call Me Maybe By Your Name party, you could imagine a modern-day Elio and Oliver biting into so-called forbidden fruit on the dance floor.

Speaking of fruit, the crowd’s collective loss of inhibitions was helped along by the trio of potent peach cocktails concocted by Destileria Limtuaco: The Chalamét, Armie Hammered, and Gay Sex on the Beach. With people of all shapes, kinks, and scruff quantities getting too close for comfort across DULO’s poured concrete floors, our feelings became as fuzzy as the cut-out peaches we pasted on the walls. Unlike in the film, you could tell that the night would lead to many a “happy ending.”

Hey, queer reader or ally.

The facts are as obvious as Manny Pacquiao’s homophobia: in order to run a decent website that our queer tastes deserve, your favorite gay Asian publication could use a real TEAM effort from its readers.\

If you’d like to see more of TEAM, we hope you can take the time to help your homos out.

About Team

TEAM tackles how gay Filipino men relate their identity, from fuckups to fantasies, to where to go for music you can actually dance to. We may not have proper rights in our country but we’re claiming some authority by getting our words and ideas on page. And though we lack public places to convene, an open publication (and wide-open digital space) is a good place to start.
